BEAD TRENDS NECKLACE AND NEW GOODIES ON ETSY

This month on Bead Trends I have a little necklace called "Woodland Path" which I made with my own etched copper owl focal.  I also used one of my little etched lampwork acorns in the necklace.  This issue is filled with wonderful inspirational designs.  My friend Cherrie Fick has a beautiful bracelet called "Love Birds" on page 94-95 and I'd like to send out a congratulations to Amanda Austin who made it on the cover, beautiful bracelet.  There is also a wonderful article by Lori Anderson called "Jewel School" with lots of information on stringing.

Now that the tourist season has died down, I had some time to take pictures of some of the jewelry I made for the studio and post it on Gentle Wind Designs on Etsy.  Lots of pictures today!


WOODLAND PATH - Page 80-81




These are all made with my etched plates.







The next two pieces are crochet bracelet/necklaces.  These are so much fun to make.






Enjoy your day,

Raida
